Count on interior design trends for 2026 to focus on authenticity: Natural, comfortable, sustainable, and personal. Curating your home’s look “with intention” and a focus on “less is more” is what’s up. With that in mind it’s easy to fall in love with these design trends for 2026:
Jolie Laide
Embrace the imperfect! Originality overrides pure aesthetic looks with this trend, which literally means (in French) “pretty ugly.” More human, more lived in, less polished is what this trend is all about….think crocheted throw in loud colors handed down from your great-grandma, now casually decorating your sleek oversized sectional.
Biophilic Design
Nature rules! Bring the outdoors inside. This trend focuses on indoor plants, wood accents, stones, and natural light.
Earth Tones
Trending paint colors exemplify earthy neutrals, browns, muted greens and blues.
Drenching
Rooms featuring all one color and/or one material are used to make a statement.
Indoor Plants Get Supersized
Larger homes with high ceilings will showcase large statement plants like Fiddle-leaf fig trees, olive trees and sprawling monsteras.
Eco-Friendly Sustainability
Objects and furniture made of natural materials that are biodegradable continue to be in demand. Less plastic, more wood, rattan and natural fiber set the stage for both aesthetic and climate sustainablity reasons.
Kitchen Tables Make a Come-Back as the Eating Centerpiece
Islands take a backseat as more of us return to the intimacy of gathering at the kitchen table over a home-cooked meal. And let’s not forget the lure of an outdoor kitchen which is sure to increase your home’s value when and if you decide to sell.
Casual Comfort
Oversized and plush furniture pieces will be favored for their comfort and relaxed aesthetic.
Layered Lighting
Combining different lighting sources, such as ceiling, table-top, and accent lighting, will create a dynamic and functional atmosphere.
Wellness Spaces
As we continue to embrace personal wellness and self-care dedicated spaces meant for yoga, meditation and the like act as sanctuary areas in the home.
Home Office Space
Working from home and hybrid schedules will continue to be a popular option; homes that have dedicated areas for work will be in demand.
Sculptural Tiles
Unique and artistic tile designs are used to add visual interest to bathrooms, kitchens, and other areas. These tiles, often featuring bold patterns and colors, are a popular choice for adding personality to spaces.
